So, if I understand you, eating sugar or "carbs," gives you immediate diarrhea? By carbs, I'm going to assume you mean simple carbs like crackers or chips and not vegetables. Is that correct?
Many RNY patients suffer some ill effects from simple carbs and sugars. For some, it results in reactive glycemia, while others suffer dumping symptoms. If either case, close monitoring of the diet is necessary to avoid the foods that trigger the symptoms. Do you journal your food choices? Do you know which foods cause the most reactions? In either case, these episodes are avoidable in most cases by eating protein and vegetables first and avoiding simple carbs. It shouldn't be a life sentence of being home bound.
If you think this is more than RH or dumping, I'd speak to another specialist. Maybe your gut flora is off kilter and you need a probiotic or other product to help. Good luck!
